GOING:

SPENCER MOTOR COMPANY PACERS HANDICAP (SKY 2) 2050m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 12)    

BELLEZZA NERA (7) settled well back at his most recent outing and scored by 1.5 metres, in a far better performance at Globe Derby Park over 2230m. This should be an easier assignment, so he is a major player again. TEMBIE (4) went back from a wide gate on the front line last start and was never in the race, finishing 30 metres from the winner in seventh at Globe Derby Park over 2230m. Has the ability to take this out. WHERES THE GOLD (6) is a genuine type who was a solid fourth most recently at Globe Derby Park. Among the better chances in what looks like a suitable assignment. DUKE OF DUNDEE (2) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Globe Derby Park eight days ago.
